It is being reported by the WrestlingObserver that Thales Leites (10-1) will likely be the replacement for the injured Travis Lutter in UFC 74. Lutter had to withdraw earlier due to a bulging disk in his neck that wouldn’t allow him to train properly. So now it is Leites that will take on Ryan Jensen (11-1) in this Middleweight matchup. Leites is a rising star after his quick first round defeat of Team Jackson’s Floyd Sword in The Ultimate Fighter 5 Finale.
Jensen is opposition is not getting any easier with Thales Leites stepping. I think Leites is going to sub him in R2.
